Having finally picked up their first league win of the season against Birmingham City on the weekend, Sabri Lamouchi’s men are hoping to keep that momentum going as they take on Charlton at the Valley.
Although it’s not going to be easy, Charlton come into the game undefeated and sitting third in the table. Although it’s too early to start talking about ‘promotion’ and ‘edging closer’, it’s still good for them to be near the top of the table, might give them a little bit of a cushion to work with later on in the season.
So how did the Forest fans react when they saw the team news come out?
Lamouchi did hint in his press conference that he would consider making a few changes to deal with the hectic schedule, and boy oh boy did he make some changes.
The most notable change came in attack where he decided to drop Joe Lolley, and it certainly got the fans talking before the game, with most of them in a state of, well not panic, but certainly concern.
WHERE IS JOSEPH LOLLEY?

Although it looks as if these guys were actually paying attention to what Lamouchi said in his press conference.
Lolley has a problem with his foot and is not being risked
